Happy and Olive

Came here during the summer. Food was more on the expensive side and menu needs a bit of clarity. Otherwise, great food, great patio and service was spot-on.nnFood: Flavor on everything we ordered was well-balanced and unique. Saganaki was phenomenal. Korean Schnitzel portions were larger than most other dishes, which we found strange considering it is not a main. Pepper crusted tuna unfortunately still had connective tissue attached, which made it very chewy.nnService: Spot-on. Server was very attentive and friendly.nnAtmosphere: Nice corner restaurant with modern decor and ambient lighting. Beautiful covered patio a must go in the summer.nnValue: Portions were average for the price. Slightly more expensive than what you get, but uniqueness of dishes makes up for it.

Food is high end delicious. So many unique flavors combined with care and flair. Fancy! Service is welcoming and they give good recommendations based on your needs and likes. Beet salad was so good. Desserts! Try the flour free chocolate cake. Melts in your mouth! Vegetarian options. The location is pretty and peaceful. Patio dining available. Trees. The experience at Happy and Olive is overall enjoyable.

Went here for brunch, you need a reservation unless you want to wait!nFood was amazing, so flavourful, done really well, restaurant atmosphere was great.nWe did have to wait a bit for our food, understandable with how busy it was, but as soon as our plates were cleared they asked us to leave to accommodate the line up.... Now I understand that you don't want people to linger, many brunch places have that, but maybe 10 min after our dishes were gone might have been nicer? It just felt a little fast and not the best finish to what was otherwise a very pleasant experience.

Had a brunch at Happy and Olive and decided to go for the Shake Fries and Chicken & Waffles. The meal was surprisingly enjoyable; the fries had a satisfying crunch, and the chicken & waffles offered a balanced blend of sweet and savory flavors. Also had the mango mimosa of the day and it was delicious! It's a decent spot if you're looking for a relaxed brunch, though reservations are recommended since they are always fully booked.

What a delightful lunch we had today!!! The menu was so enticing that we had a hard time making choices. We decided on the crab cakes and the Korean Schnitzel … and both dishes were tasty!!! Our server was excellent and the space was warm and inviting. We will definitely be back!!!
